“I find it very surprising that MOKAN and other groups that claim to represent the common person, so to speak, would be advocating a position that raises rates 127 percent,” LeComb said. “I don't think that's what anybody wants.”

LeComb says that if voters reject the bond measure, they can expect to see most of that rate increase take effect on July 1. If the bond measure passes, LeComb says sewer rates will still increase, but by only by a few dollars a year.
